FIXED! Keyboard Onedrive Sync issue on new phone
After about 2 weeks of ripping my hair out and troubleshooting with chatgpt, I've settled on beta but I got it to finally sync my dictionary/vocabulary! Sorry for the shitty format, it was a direct copy paste and I'm not going to sift though it to edit. (Switching from LG Velvet to Samsung Galaxy S25 FE)
Chat GPT:
Recommended Plan A (highest probability, lowest technical complexity)
Phase 0 — Protect your data
On a PC:
Sign into OneDrive.
Navigate to:
Apps
→ SwiftKey Keyboard
→ Dictionary
Download:
vocabulary.txt
dynamic.lm
Save them somewhere safe.
Do not skip this.
Phase 1 — Make sure LG is the only active SwiftKey device
On the S25:
Uninstall SwiftKey.
Uninstall SwiftKey Beta.
Leave them uninstalled.
On the LG:
Keep SwiftKey installed.
Confirm Backup & Sync is ON.
Confirm Last Sync is recent.
Phase 2 — Rebuild the cloud backup
In OneDrive:
Delete:
vocabulary.txt
dynamic.lm
On the LG:
Open SwiftKey.
Go to:
Account
→ Backup & Sync
Toggle Backup & Sync OFF.
Wait 30 seconds.
Toggle Backup & Sync ON.
Wait several minutes.
Check OneDrive.
Expected result:
New vocabulary.txt
New dynamic.lm
Open vocabulary.txt.
Verify:
Your old words are present.
File size is similar to your current 79 KB.
If not, stop and report back.
Phase 3 — Try Beta again
On S25:
Install SwiftKey Beta only.
Sign in.
Enable keyboard.
Do not import anything with Smart Switch.
Wait 30–60 minutes.
Test old learned words.
